YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Mike Johnson is elected House speaker during the first ballot, securing the gavel after Reps. Ralph Norman and Keith Self initially voted for other candidates. The Hill's Drew Petrimoulx and Julia Manchester discuss the first day of the 119th Congress. President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk both threw support behind Johnson. New House rules reveal a change to the motion to vacate, making it more difficult to oust the speaker. Plus, the Senate convened today, swearing in new members. Now, Republicans prepare for confirmation hearings for Trump's controversial nominations of Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel and RFK Jr.
